Re: midi to ly

[Mats Bengtsson]

You have to log out and login again after you have installed LilyPond,
but once you have done that, the commands should certainly be available
in a normal command prompt.

Let's say that you have a file called myfile.ly on your desktop, then the
following should work:
- Start a command prompt:
Start Menu -> Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt
- Change directory to the Desktop:
cd Desktop
- Run convert-ly:
convert-ly -e myfile.ly

This will update the file myfile.ly and leave a copy of the old version
with the name myfile.ly~
